Eat healthy, whole foods. Get plenty of vegetables, especially leafy green ones*. Stay gluten free, stay hydrated. I don't know that there's anything particularly special other than making sure that you are getting good nutrition, especially calcium, iron, vitamin C, and vitamin K.

*It's possible to take too much folic acid in multiple supplements during pregnancy, but natural sources do not have this problem.

To answer the title question, during my first trimester, I was relatively nauseous and didn't want to eat. I lived off eggs and avocado, for the most part. But healthy fats are good for the little one (and eggs also have lots of choline!).

I agree, lots of whole foods. I found out that I feel better (morning sickness wise) when I have good food in me. Lots of brown rice, quinoa, fresh meats and veggies, I love love love red bell peppers right now.

Good luck TTC!!! Sending you some of my baby dust!

That's true - my hypoglycemia was worse during pregnancy, so I had to be very careful about carbs. Just brown rice on it's own would make me feel icky. Additionally, getting PLENTY of protein can help reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia. (Not eliminate it, but it helps.)

Really! I got a lot of protein and I still ended up with it. Weird.

I just had red quinoa for lunch and it was AWESOME!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
